Oh my gosh! If I even blink right now there will be real tears streaming down my face! The last couple chapters were amazing! The emotion is so real.

If I were that nurse, I wouldn't have made him put on the gown. Nick Carter flashes a smile at me and I swear its whatever he wants! -lol

by the way I'm totally loving this story. I'm very impressed with the writing. You seem to know enough of what your talking about and yet it doesn't sound like you're transfering info from a text book the way it sometimes can. Does that make any sense?

Author's Response: Thank you so much!! I did do a lot of research for this story to make it realistic, and at times, it was hard to transfer very textbook-ish information into a scene and make it read like a story and not like a textbook LOL. So I'm glad to know it doesn't sound that way to the readers!! LOL Thanks again!!

HAHA this chapter reminded me of House of Carters!
You're welcome for the reviews. I try to do it as much as I can. I know how it is need the encouragement and all. lol, even if they are not exactly "constructive" I hope you enojoy them because I'm enjoying the story! sorry it's been a while but I got busy and then went on vacation so I had to put the story down for a while. Man, I have a lot of catching up to do...) (That's a GOOD thing!)

Author's Response: Thanks again!! I really do appreciate the reviews, and yes, it's definitely encouraging!! Even though this story is finished, it's still great to hear that people are reading and enjoying it, and I am still working on the sequel, so good feedback for Broken gets me more in the mood to work on its sequel. :)

Well, I must say I've been quite caught up in this story the past few days... So much so that I spent pretty much my only two days off this week reading this story straight through! lol I thought it was excellent and shocking and definitely not your typical "Nick has cancer" story. At the beginning I was very skeptical since its such an overused plot, but you researched the topic extremely well and made it very emotional. I found myself in tears in quite a few spots. I also read your alternate ending because I remember your concerns about the ending on the Ethereality board. I think you made the right desicion. Although its very tough to accept something like that happening to Nick it would be pointless to say that it was all just a dream. Anyway I;m going to stop rambling now and start the sequel LOl

Author's Response: Wow, thanks for the review!!! I'm so glad you got into the story and liked it! I really appreciate your comments because when I started this story, I set out to do exactly what you said - take an overused plot and do it some justice by writing it RIGHT - actually researching and trying my best to make it realistic and believable, without sugarcoating it too much. I've read several fanfics with the "cancer" plot, and many of them seem cheesy and oversimplified and contain huge medical errors. I'm no expert, but I've read enough to be able to recognize glaring mistakes, and I just think if you're going to write about something like this, you need to at least TRY to look something up about it and get the basics right. Then I read the "Swollen Issues" series (which you should read if you liked Broken - it's posted here on AC too), which are absolutely the best "cancer stories" I've read - they're very detailed and realistic and absolutely heartbreaking. That was my inspiration and my motivation to try to write my own story, take it in a different direction, and also make it as realistic as I could. It's not perfect, but I definitely spent a lot of time researching and trying to get things right. Oh, just for the record, my thread on Ethereality was not about this story, but actually about its sequel. Broken has been finished for a couple of years now; I just didn't start posting it on here right away. The sequel, BMS, is also a lot further - it's on my site (check the link in my bio) if you get into it and are anxious to read further.
